Located in the Northeast Atlantic, between Iceland and Denmark, the Faroe Islands (Føroyar in Danish) comprise 18 small islands, characterized by steep cliffs, tall mountains, and narrow fjords. The famous Faroese writer William Heinesen describes best the islands in the opening of his novel The Lost Musicians:

”Far out in the radiant ocean glinting like quicksilver there lies a solitary little lead-coloured land. The tiny rocky shore is to the vast ocean just about the same as a grain of sand to the floor of a dance hall. But seen beneath a magnifying glass, this grain is nevertheless a whole world…”

Faroe is the 1.0 version of SODA Open Data Framework software. With support for block, file, and object storage, multicloud data control, telemetry and resource management across heterogeneous storage, Faroe eliminates data silos and delivers integrated data management for cloud native and other environments.

“Storage silos in our services make a barrier among customers and the services. The barriers like individual storage software/API have hindered not only us from managing our services, but also customers from utilizing their data across the services. We're expecting SODA to help service providers and customers overcome the barrier by open data management platform”
